August 19/13 11:48 am - Tourism London Challenge report and results

Posted by Editoress on 08/19/13

Forty-seven starters came to the line to take the first Tourism London Challenge. From the gun there was attacking off the front. A total of $300 in preems were distributed to the racers throughout the 75 minute event.

Several escape attempts were made in the first 40 minutes of racing, however nothing was able to stay away. There was a preem with 30 minutes remaining and this is what formed the nine rider break that lapped the field with five laps remaining. The break was on their own for the final four laps and in the finale, hometown boy Jeff Schiller took top honours and the first place prize. The rest of the top five included Mike Aston, Peter Morse, Brent Aquino, and Junior-aged Adam Jamieson.

The Forest City Velodrome (volunteers) would like to thank all the sponsors and contributors for this event. We hope everyone had a great time at the event and wish to see everyone again next year.
